Update from 3/25/14

Hey Everybody,

Just an update on everything that's going on. I am in Casper, Wyoming. In the Casper Spanish 1st Ward. Which is a Spanish only mission which is funny cause I don't know Spanish.... My companion is a really good guy. His name is Elder Juarez. The only tough thing is he doesn't know very much English. But we have been really progressing this week in our language studies. I have two hours of language studies. One hour for Spanish and One hour for Portuguese. So maybe by the end of my mission I will know three languages. 

Our Investigators are going crazy. I feel like everyone in this area wants to know about the gospel. We have around 30 investigators and right now 4 on date to be baptized next month. Which is crazy. It has been really had trying to help Elder Juarez teach them cause no one speaks English. Basically I have just been  bearing my testimony and praying in Spanish and then trying to understand at least some of what they say. They have been cooking us some really good Mexican food that really reminds me of home (TEXAS). But everything is going really good. Our Apartment is super small and falling apart. My companion is loving me because I have been fixing tons of stuff. And he is also loving me because I have been cooking some of our breakfasts and i showed him my egg sandwich and he loved it!!! This next week we are going to make some creamy jalapeno sauce. So it has been tons of fun. 

Usually my p-day is on Monday but we spent all day at Martins Cove doing service. Tat was such an amazing experience to learn about the pioneers. Plus I got to meet the main actor from Ephraim's Rescue. I haven't seen the movie but it was way cool to learn about the movie and hear his prospective about the story of the pioneers. After Martins Cove, another elder and I got to go on top of Independence Rock just outside from Martins Cove. That's such an amazing experience. I miss you all. Hope everyone is doing good. Talk to you all next Monday. Its really good to hear from yall.

Love,

Elder Tomlinson
